Frequently asked questions

Guided group tours offer solo travellers the best of both worlds, combining the freedom of independent travel with the support, convenience and social benefits of a group. Travellers can connect with like-minded people, benefit from the expertise of local guides and tour directors, and explore with confidence knowing the logistics have been taken care of.
 
Many operators offer solo-friendly tours. Wendy Wu features dedicated Solo Traveller departures on selected tours across destinations including Japan, China and Vietnam, with a guaranteed private room and no single supplement. Insight Vacations offers both Women-Only tours and dedicated solo-only departures, including a private room with no single supplement, across destinations such as Italy, Croatia, Spain and Portugal.
 
Solo travellers can also join the vast majority of Intrepid tours, enjoying the freedom of independent travel alongside the support of an experienced local leader and a small group of like-minded travellers. 
 
Intrepid Travel also offers dedicated Women's Expeditions in destinations such as Morocco, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, designed exclusively for female travellers seeking unique cultural experiences with other like-minded women.
 
G Adventures also caters to solo travellers, with most small group tours open to solo bookings and dedicated Solo-ish departures available in destinations such as Bali and New Zealand.
 
Many tour operators also offer reduced or waived single supplements on selected departures, making solo travel more affordable while providing the comfort of a room of your own.

Not always. While some operators charge a single supplement for travellers wanting their own room, many offer ways to avoid or reduce the cost.
 
Wendy Wu Tours, for example, offers selected dedicated Solo Traveller departures on some of its most popular tours, with a guaranteed private room and no single supplement. Insight Vacations features solo-only departures that also include a private room at no extra cost.
 
Intrepid Travel welcomes solo travellers on most tours. Where available, travellers can choose to share a room with another same-gender solo traveller to avoid paying a single supplement, or upgrade to a private room for an additional cost. G Adventures similarly pairs solo travellers with a same-gender roommate at no extra cost, with private room upgrades available on many departures. 
 
Globus and Cosmos regularly feature solo traveller promotions, including reduced or waived single supplements on selected tours. 
 
For solo cruising, operators such as Ponant frequently offer free solo supplement promotions on selected departures, allowing travellers to enjoy a stateroom of their own at no extra cost. Scenic also regularly features reduced or waived solo supplements on selected river and ocean cruise departures. 
 
As offers vary by operator and departure date, it's worth speaking with a travel agent about the latest solo traveller deals available.

The best destinations for solo travel are often those that are easy to explore, offer plenty to see and do, and suit different interests and preferred pace. Australia can be a great starting point for a solo holiday closer to home, with experiences ranging from city and coastal escapes to a rail journey through the Australian Outback. 
 
New Zealand combines spectacular scenery with outdoor adventures, particularly in destinations such as Queenstown in the South Island, while Japan is another popular choice, with efficient public transport and cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka that are easy to explore independently.
 
For travellers looking for more adventure, Nepal is renowned for trekking in the Himalayas, with routes including Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit. In Europe, Portugal combines historic cities and coastal towns with good transport connections, while Iceland appeals to travellers drawn to dramatic landscapes and outdoor experiences. Canada offers cosmopolitan cities alongside mountains, lakes and national parks.
 
Southeast Asia and the South Pacific also offer plenty of options for solo travellers. Singapore, for example, has excellent public transport, English is widely spoken and there’s plenty to discover across its diverse neighbourhoods. Bali and Fiji can also appeal to solo travellers looking for a relaxing resort stay, with opportunities to combine downtime with activities and local experiences.
 
Some of the best solo travel destinations for women also include Switzerland, Norway, Ireland and Slovenia, from alpine scenery and dramatic fjords to historic cities and outdoor adventures.
 
Ultimately, the best destination for solo holidays will depend on individual interests and budget.

When choosing a solo holiday package, start by thinking about what an ideal holiday looks like, whether that’s a good book and a deck chair on an ultra-luxury Scenic cruise around Fiji, or being immersed in local experiences on an Intrepid dedicated solo tour in Vietnam with like-minded travellers.
 
From there, compare solo travel packages based on the itinerary, accommodation, pace, group size and how much free time is included. Dedicated solo departures aren’t the only option. Wendy Wu, for example, also offer tours across Asia that solo travellers are welcome to join, while Grand Pacific Tours offers dedicated solo traveller tours in New Zealand. Exploring solo tours and holiday packages in Australia and abroad can also help with comparing different ways to travel solo.
 
It’s also worth checking exactly what is included in the price, such as accommodation, meals, transfers, sightseeing and activities, and whether a single supplement applies. 
 
When comparing solo travel deals, look at the overall inclusions rather than price alone to find the holiday that offers the right balance of value, comfort and experiences.
 
A travel agent can also help narrow down the options based on individual interests, budget and preferred way to travel.

Solo travel can be a safe and rewarding way to explore, particularly with some planning before you go. Research your destination, check current travel advice, choose reputable accommodation and transport, and keep family or friends updated on your plans.
 
When choosing a safe travel destination when travelling solo, consider factors such as local laws and customs, transport options and tourism infrastructure. Reading recent reviews and online forums can also provide useful insights from other solo travellers, alongside official travel advice.
 
If you’re not comfortable travelling completely independently, a guided tour can provide extra support while still giving you the experience of travelling solo. There are many tours that welcome solo travellers, as well as dedicated solo tours with plenty of free time built in, giving you a sense of independence along with the support of a group. Solo female travellers may also prefer women-only tours, which offer dedicated itineraries and the opportunity to travel alongside other women.

Yes, cruises can be a great option for solo travellers who want to visit multiple destinations while enjoying the convenience of unpacking just once.  Both ocean and river cruises offer opportunities to explore independently or join excursions, while onboard dining, lounges and activities can make it easy to meet other travellers.
 
Ocean cruising offers plenty of choice, from destination-focused voyages with Viking to luxury, expedition and small-ship cruises. Ponant, for example, offers luxury small-ship cruising and waives the single supplement on many selected departures, making these voyages worth considering for solo travellers. Silversea also caters to solo travellers, with reduced single supplements available on selected luxury voyages and opportunities to meet other solo guests onboard.
 
Europe river cruising can also work particularly well for solo travellers, with smaller ships and itineraries that take travellers into the heart of cities and towns along the way. 
 
Avalon Waterways caters specifically to solo travellers, with single supplements waived on most European departures and selected Southeast Asia sailings. Travelmarvel also offers dedicated solo departures on selected European Gems river cruises, giving solo travellers their own cabin while travelling with a group of like-minded guests.
 
When choosing between an ocean or river cruise, consider the destinations and itinerary, ship size, dining options and onboard experience, along with the fare type and what’s included, such as shore excursions, and whether a single supplement applies.

Many cruise lines now offer solo cabins designed specifically for people travelling on their own, although the type of cabin and availability varies between ships. These dedicated cabins are a good option for solo travellers, as they’re designed and priced for one guest rather than two.
 
Cunard offers single staterooms on Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth, along with activities and social opportunities for solo guests. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has a wide choice of solo accommodation, including Solo Inside, Oceanview and Balcony Staterooms across its fleet, plus Solo Studios and access to a dedicated Studio Lounge on selected ships.
 
For something smaller and more expedition-focused, Coral Expeditions offers options for solo travellers including solo cabins, selected departures with no solo supplement and standby offers. Holland America Line also has dedicated Single Ocean View staterooms on its Pinnacle Class ships, with purpose-built Solo Verandah staterooms available on Oosterdam sailings from 2027.
 
Solo cabins can be limited on some ships, so it’s worth checking availability early and comparing the solo fare with the price of a standard cabin and any applicable single supplement.
